The U.S. will step up its crackdown on China's surveillance industry this coming week, with further restrictions on the supply of American technology that will be in effect from January 6. The new regulations target the use of artificial intelligence in geospatial applications--essentially the detection and classification of objects from planes, drones and satellites. While many such applications are civilian in nature--geographical surveys, construction, town planning, the real focus is military and surveillance. Essentially, the U.S. does not want these technologies in enemy hands. The restrictions cover U.S. exports to all countries bar Canada, but the primary target is of course China and its world-leading AI surveillance industry.
